wally at coffee pot talking to Dilbert:: social distancing has been a great upgrade to my life. in the old days, women avoided me by at least ten feet. now i often get within seven. i think it's because i'm better-looking with most of my face covered. especially if i wear a hat and sunglasses. and i learned that women will talk to me if i walk the wrong way down a grocery aisle. they're usually complaining but at least they make eye contact. it's sort of a golden age for people like me.

SOCIAL DISTANCING HAS BEEN A GREAT UPGRADE TO MY LIFE.

IN THE OLD DAYS, WOMEN AVOIDED ME BY AT LEAST TEN FEET.

NOW I OFTEN GET WITHIN SEVEN.

I THINK IT'S BECAUSE I'M BETTER- LOOKING WITH MOST OF MY FACE COVERED.

ESPECIALLY IF I WEAR A HAT AND SUNGLASSES.

AND I LEARNED THAT WOMEN WILL TALK TO ME IF I WALK THE WRONG WAY DOWN A GROCERY AISLE.

THEY'RE USUALLY COMPLAINING, BUT AT LEAST THEY MAKE EYE CONTACT IT'S SORT OF A GOLDEN AGE FOR PEOPLE LIKE ME.
